Design Build Tips & Tools Multimodal

We’re excited to announce two new Alexa Design System toolkits available in the Alexa Design Guide to help you quickly and consistently design multimodal experiences for your Alexa skills with Alexa Presentation Language (APL). These toolkits are designed for infinity design canvas programs such as Adobe XD and Sketch. The toolkits contain libraries that represent code-backed Alexa styles and layout packages. These design elements, tools, and typography adapt across different viewport profiles so you get a real sense of what your final product will look like. These toolkits can assist with designing consistent and high-quality visual assets that you can implement in your skill using the APL editor.

While Alexa is a voice-centric technology, adding visual aids to your skill can enrich the experience for your customers. Create complementary visuals that can add your own branding, colors, styling, and so much more with APL. If you’re unfamiliar with adding visual experiences to a skill using APL, check out our training course, How to Build a Multimodal Alexa Skill  .... '
